Two Corpus Christi men shot dead in parked car

CORPUS CHRISTI - A late-night shooting in the 3200 block of Reid Drive ended with two people dead late Sunday.

Both male victims, one 18 and the other in his late teens or early 20s, were from Corpus Christi, Capt. John Houston said.

The men were shot repeatedly, Houston said.

More than a dozen police cars and two crime scene vans arrived at the scene around 10:40 p.m. after a call from a witness that someone was shot near a loading dock behind a shopping center on Alameda Street.

The driver and a front-seat passenger in a white coupe were dead with car parked but still running when police arrived, Houston said.

The white coupe sat with both doors open and both victims still inside as investigators cordoned off an area about 30 feet around the car with crime scene tape and combed the scene for any evidence.

A citywide watch has been issued for a black pickup with chrome wheels last seen by witnesses leaving Reid Drive.

As police looked for evidence with flashlights, a handful of people, some of whom were employed at the shopping area, looked on.

No arrests had been made and no motive has been established, Houston said.
